Tribeca 2011: Team Twitch Wraps Up

This evening sees the 10th edition of the Tribeca Film Festival come to a close. My gallant colleague, Peter Gutierrez and I would like to thank the staff and volunteers, publicists and assistants for making TFF 2011 quite a cool experience for us folks of the Twitch-variety. And now if you will indulge us a bit more, here are some final thoughts on the fest, including our takes on Detective Dee And The Phantom Flame , She Monkeys , Let The Bullets Fly and Saint .  -- it was highly engaging and deceptively deep from start to finish. Some might fault it for being a "politics lite"-style doc, but in this case that's the point: Jón Gnarr was a career comedian who decided to run for mayor of Reykjavik and actually won. But if you dismiss him as a goofball, and therefore Gaukur Úlfarsson's film as a chronicle of a goofball, you're basically making the same mistake that his political opponents did. Really hope this reaches a wide audience at some point. I don't have similar concerns about the other doc I was so impressed with-- Ben Umstead:   I found myself enjoying well over half of what I saw this year, and one movie I did see but did not do a full review on is Lisa Aschan's She Monkeys , which won for Best Narrative Feature at the fest. In the past Aschan made some short form documentaries in Sweden and Denmark, and while still in film school got attention for a series of fictional advertisements for spiked tampons called "Fuck The Rapist". This kind of transgressive attitude carries over to her first feature, but under a particular brand of naturalism. Finding some success already in Scandinavia, She Monkeys has been compared to Lukas Moodysson's Fucking Åmål (aka Show Me Love ), because both films deal with the budding relationship and sexuality of two teenage girls, but outside of both films being Swedish and their subjects being teenagers I would not take the comparison any further. She Monkeys operates much closer to the French film Water Lilies in that it centers the girls' relationship around a particular sport: in Water Lilies it was synchronized swimming, in She Monekeys it is equestrian acrobatics, a world we don't see too often on film, and a place to set-up an instant rivalry between newcomer Emma (Mathilda Paradeiser) and would-be-leader Cassandra (Linda Molin).
